A CONSTRUCTION crane is dangling dangerously over New York, after it was battered by Hurricane Sandy.
The super-high crane was being used to build luxury apartments 90 floors up in central Manhattan when the top collapsed. Firefighters were left bracing themselves in fear that the metal structure will crash to the ground and potentially cause massive damage. It is believed the crane was caught by a huge gust of wind and became bent out of shape. An area below the crane has been sealed off and 300 nearby apartments have been evacuated.
Bent...the crane has been blown out of shape.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the crane was inspected last week prior to Sandy's arrival. He added: "It's conceivable that nobody did anything wrong whatsoever and it wasn't even a malfunction, it was just a strange gust of wind. "Just because it was inspected, that doesn't mean that God doesn't do things or that metal doesn't fail. There's no reason to think at this point in time that the inspection wasn't adequate."
